#Black screen streamlabs obs drivers#
A lot of the solutions I found focused on enabling irrelevant things like compatibility mode, updating drivers for your graphics card and even changing the performance mode for the app to high performance (all of which, do nothing). You should now see your display capture working, so additional trickery or configuration needed. Now, open up Streamlabs OBS (and make sure you’re running it as an administrator). The real file for Streamlabs OBS is obs64.exe select it and click, “Add Selected Program”.Ĭlick the, “Select the preferred graphics processor for this program” dropdown and choose, “Integrated Graphics” and then click the “Apply” button. If you have recently opened Streamlabs OBS you’ll see it at the top of the list, but ignore that. Don’t worry about the dropdown, Streamlabs OBS will not be detected there. Inside the control panel on the left-hand side, select, “Manage 3d settings” and on the right-hand side, choose the program settings tab. In that case, you can try switching the GPU that OBS is using to fix the black screen issue. Sometimes, the OBS display capture black screen is due to the low-performance GPU. Open up the Nvidia Control Panel (right-click on your desktop and choose, Nvidia Control Panel). System will use the discrete GPU when you run power-intensive apps or video games. I knuckled down and was able to fix the solution. it will only record a black screen which does. Welcome to the streaming platform you cant stream on. There is a bit of a learning curve, but you are rewarded with a lot of flexibility once you explore a bit. Nearly every element can be repositioned just click, drag and snap overlays into place Includes five preset screen layouts, each in classic and zombie modes. I moved on to StreamLabs because it was easy to use and highly customizable. I have an integrated Nvidia 1060 GPU.Īfter a lot of dead ends reading forum posts, blog posts and anything else I could find, nothing seemed to work. Personalize your screens all overlays are layered to give you complete creative control.
While we are probably not guaranteed to have the same laptops, this fix should work for anyone experiencing the same issue. I tried everything inside of Streamlabs OBS, but it turns out it is related to the graphics in the laptop being in use, requiring OBS to be configured to use integrated graphics. All I got was this black screen and no explanation. While I attempted to enable display capture for my live scene, my webcam was working fine, but none of my laptop display was being captured.
Like many, I use Streamlabs OBS for my streaming needs.
#Black screen streamlabs obs code#
I do a bit of live streaming over on Twitch ( give me a follow if you’re interested in coding and this post helped you) and while I primarily use my desktop PC, I was travelling recently and wanted to use my gaming laptop to do a little code streaming (scroll down to the “fix” section if you’re in a hurry).
